Thanks David! I will make this change in v7.

We also present the metrics in /proc/meminfo to export the value in a readable format where all the values are consistently in kB (unlike vmstat with varying units).

Sorry, meant a node with only ZONE_MOVABLE here so metadata can't be
allocated locally.

When we have a ZONE_MOVABLE’s page's metadata on another node, it would NOT be discounted. It would be accounted for on the other node.
 

But would be very interested to learn why this subtlety exists to sum up
only online nodes.

If I understood correctly, as long as the memory is not hotplugged, it won't have any page metadata and thus we would NOT include its metadata. The moment the memory is hotplugged or hot-unplugged, the metadata will be incremented or decremented, correspondingly.

Yep, this is correct.
